Twitter goes into lite version, covers more market

Twitter has been working earnestly in the past few years and doubling up its efforts to boost its user numbers by expanding the availability of its Twitter lite version (a lightweight Android app) to more markets in more continent.

Twitter has struggled to grow its user base, as it’s one of their mission in bringing the world together irrespective of race and tribe, also revealing a modest 4 percent year-on-year (YoY) rise during its last earnings report. (It now claims 330 million monthly users globally.) Emerging markets could prove key to its continued growth, but restrictive or expensive data plans — or limited space on a device — could preclude users from spending much time on the social network. And that’s where Twitter Lite comes into play, with its faster loading times and optimized data consumption and a built-in “data saver” mode to ensure only select images or videos are downloaded.

As a young entrepreneur and a webmaster in Nigeria, I love technology! As a result, and to earnestly contribute to tech awareness within individuals, I find the need to give digital-based insight of the technology world today, hence, making individuals well tech rounded and get the need to acquire technical skills.
